When I first moved to Marbella it completely slipped my mind that I still needed to use a daily facial SPF as I would normally do if I was on holiday. Because I was now living in the sun, for some stupid reason, it didnt occur to me that my 'holiday' skin care regime was even more important.
As a result I ended up with a patch of pigmented skin which my boyfriend lovingly described as 'a map of the world imprinted on my forehead'. It was awful. I couldnt cover it up and I was so afraid I would be stuck with it forever.
Until I was introduced to Sesha Skin Therapy. My dermatologist in the UK recommended I try a product of theirs called Cell-White Fadeout. I used Cell-White Fadeout 15 every other evening (until my skin tolerated everyday use). This contained 2% hydroquinone, the only FDA-approved skin whitener, which decreased the deep melanin sediment and increased the cell-turnover rate until the dark patches had gone. I also used Cell-White Fadeout 10 every morning and evening to prevent the enzyme that produces melanin which helps to stop it from coming back. After about 4 weeks it had completely gone!!
I would definately recommend this to anyone with similar pigmentation issues. Its amazing what beauty secrets are out there!!!
